Dutch lanyard / fourragere?

[dedehansen]

Hi Gentlemen,

 

 

recently I was able to aquire the estate from a Dutch paratrooper beginning 

 

with the Dutch East Indies then Korea and then probably Koninklijke Landmacht.

 

Now I´m trying to research the estate continuing with a red lanyard / fourragere.

 

I couldn´t find something about regulations on awarding or carrying. 

 

I appreciate any help.

 

Kind regards

 

Andreas

The lanyard you show is a faded red coloured lanyard.

 

There was an Orange Lanyard but this was much more simple.

Below an example of the orange lanyard. 

 

 

The red lanyard you show was and still is given today in the Dutch Army mainly to NCO's for merit shown over a longer period. It is worn on the left shoulder of the dress uniform.

Hi Herman,

 

many thanks for the identification and explanation about the red lanyard.

 

I could only find one Photo on www from a Dutch veteran wearing this lanyard

 

on a civil suit, unfortunately without further informations.

 

Kind regards
